The Germans had time to reset 18 00:01:37,46 --> 00:01:43,68 and strengthen their forces American lives were sacrificed to pay for a great 19 00:01:43,68 --> 00:01:46,08 government the people didn't want 20 00:01:51,49 --> 00:01:56,88 all this apparently seems quite normal to Congress Roosevelt old enemies are again 21 00:01:56,88 --> 00:02:00,32 making government policy. They are the friends of. Big business. 22 00:02:01,28 --> 00:02:03,67 The men who believe in the atomic diplomacy. 23 00:02:04,78 --> 00:02:08,52 The president himself shared the platform on the American University with Winston 24 00:02:08,52 --> 00:02:12,37 Churchill when he called for an Anglo-American alliance against Russia. 25 00:02:15,50 --> 00:02:28,26 Is this what millions of men died for. 26 00:02:29,22 --> 00:02:35,67 That we might make I'm not making the sacrifice that you want 27 00:02:35,67 --> 00:02:41,65 but we had 28 00:02:43,29 --> 00:02:45,16 the last war 29 00:02:51,50 --> 00:02:54,56 when Bill walked on the picket line the morning of January fifteenth. 30 00:02:54,77 --> 00:02:57,22 He was fighting for the decent standard of living 31 00:02:57,22 --> 00:03:00,10 that Roosevelt had pledged in the economic bill of rights. 32 00:03:01,13 --> 00:03:05,51 The right to a job to food and clothing to fair prices. 33 00:03:05,79 --> 00:03:11,48 To protection against monopolies the right to a decent home medical care a good 34 00:03:11,48 --> 00:03:17,73 education the right to economic security bill fought for this new bill of rights. 35 00:03:17,78 --> 00:03:19,16 That's part of my D.C.I. 36 00:03:19,16 --> 00:03:23,55 All the struggle against the economic royalists of the national labor management 37 00:03:23,55 --> 00:03:27,78 conference the aisle president Philip Murray had sought to nature's way for 38 00:03:27,78 --> 00:03:29,46 recognition of the need for wage 39 00:03:29,46 --> 00:03:36,12 and greater than the price control within a week one of the half million C.E.O. 40 00:03:36,12 --> 00:03:37,23 Workers were on strike. 41 00:03:37,55 --> 00:03:44,37 Pato deal Packard communication farm equipment all fighting 42 00:03:44,37 --> 00:03:50,37 for a decent amount of

plan after plan town after town. 45 00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:05,04 From culture to culture perfect alignment through lines 46 00:04:05,05 --> 00:04:10,01 and little the machinery of spy comedies functions like clockwork. 47 00:04:10,35 --> 00:04:14,29 And the Louise Reich look but not one hundred percent. 48 00:04:14,31 --> 00:04:17,96 It's better judging whether it's whether there was fire for cold hands 49 00:04:17,96 --> 00:04:19,21 and feet hot coffee 50 00:04:19,21 --> 00:04:25,55 and hot cold war where you can partner with support of the strike was magnificent. 51 00:04:30,57 --> 00:04:31,42 We believe 52 00:04:50,23 --> 00:04:53,72 there were plenty of attempts at provocation but the picket lines were silent. 53 00:04:54,16 --> 00:04:54,78 I 54 00:05:01,33 --> 00:05:05,05 the most significant phase of the year in the strike was to promote the community 55 00:05:05,05 --> 00:05:10,07 support it received dozens of mayors and dozens of civic governments 56 00:05:10,07 --> 00:05:15,65 and dozens of congressmen supported their souls on strike typical for a plan 57 00:05:15,65 --> 00:05:17,95 Massachusetts where the Mayor Suttle letter to G. 58 00:05:19,28 --> 00:05:21,59 I have talked personally with many of the workers. 59 00:05:22,47 --> 00:05:23,75 I have listened to their argument. 60 00:05:24,31 --> 00:05:27,68 And I must say that their demands be reasonable 61 00:05:27,68 --> 00:05:30,79 and just under all present day circumstances. 62 00:05:32,29 --> 00:05:37,61 The townspeople agreed with the mayor not just clarity offered free medicine 63 00:05:39,56 --> 00:05:41,40 but shoemaker offered to replay or. 64 00:05:42,86 --> 00:05:48,58 In fact the whole community pitched in this was something new for a GED 65 00:05:52,07 --> 00:05:57,15 adequate buying power is necessary to sustain the business life of the community to 66 00:05:57,16 --> 00:05:59,09 enable property owners to pay taxes. 67 00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:04,12 To enable the city to conduct its municipal government on the basis of sovereignty 68 00:06:04,12 --> 00:06:08,38 and serving the interests of the community 69 00:06:08,38 --> 00:06:13,10 and the interests of the workers group was the justice of the union position was 70 00:06:13,10 --> 00:06:19,78 obvious the companies could not conceal approve the union wage one of the greatest 71 00:06:19,78 --> 00:06:21,02 problems of the campaigns 72 00:06:21,02 --> 00:06:22,33 and trade union history 73 00:06:39,97 --> 00:06:42,47 that use that radio record 74 00:06:42,47 --> 00:06:47,67 and sound from the You Tube it's the companies at their own game. 75 00:06:49,06 --> 00:06:53,19 The people could not be divided the union could not be isolated. 76 00:06:54,22 --> 00:06:55,69 It's like machinery stood up 77 00:06:55,69 --> 00:07:00,71 and just math ways national director of organization for once was satisfied 78 00:07:02,27 --> 00:07:06,07 when the companies fail to isolate those from the community. 79 00:07:06,08 --> 00:07:10,28 They try to smash laws by the use of an injunction. 80 00:07:10,29 --> 00:07:16,64 Injunction is a most reactionary weapon used by employers 81 00:07:17,47 --> 00:07:23,16 to break a strike they have been repudiated by the American people 82 00:07:24,01 --> 00:07:30,50 and by Congress through the knowledge about bloody acts what 83 00:07:30,51 --> 00:07:37,36 employers use the injunction to mobilize the police power of the states to 84 00:07:37,36 --> 00:07:38,68 undermine the break. 85 00:07:38,70 --> 00:07:41,01 Just like even the army 86 00:07:41,01 --> 00:07:47,61 and the Navy as being used for the purpose of breaking strike an injunction 87 00:07:47,61 --> 00:07:53,00 is an illegitimate offspring or ban on democratic governments 88 00:07:54,17 --> 00:07:59,81 and reactionary imports and the name of all in on it leads to. 89 00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:06,91 Violence as in the case will follow in Philadelphia on March 90 00:08:06,91 --> 00:08:10,81 fourth and I'm one of concentration a police shot of the peaceful picketing 91 00:08:10,81 --> 00:08:15,39 and parading of you with the members an injunction had been granted against 92 00:08:15,39 --> 00:08:20,11 picketing the company thought it had won a major step towards breaking the strike 93 00:08:22,25 --> 00:08:26,28 locals in Philadelphia and can organize a protest parade 94 00:08:27,35 --> 00:08:32,93

00:08:39,93 --> 00:08:40,14 at attention 97 00:08:54,08 --> 00:08:54,09 but 98 00:08:54,10 --> 00:09:48,26 when the parade started trouble began the 99 00:09:48,27 --> 00:09:52,88 flag was torn perhaps a book that read about him was big. 100 00:10:03,26 --> 00:10:05,12 It was said later and excuse 101 00:10:05,96 --> 00:10:11,44 that the police lost their head they certainly lost them in an organized manner. 102 00:10:13,26 --> 00:10:18,00 This is the result of having irresponsible officials in the city hall the state 103 00:10:18,00 --> 00:10:24,49 capital and in Washington when violence failed the companies gave them. 104 00:10:25,55 --> 00:10:27,20 Big business was stopped. 105 00:10:30,32 --> 00:10:34,77 The strikes were won on the contracts for safe in the hands of
